Very cool detective work by FoxxFur on the evolving facade, and I think I have to agree with commenters on that site, in that I think that they most chances always planned on having the ceilings go up because it was easier and cheaper. She brings up an interesting point about the pit flooding at Disneyland, and I think that definitely was a matter to take in mind, along with the idea that, if the upward mechanism breaks down, its easier to maintain as you are lifting a known load, and worse case scenario at World the ride could still operate with the stretching room out of order, whereas in Land if the rooms are out of order the ride has to close.
Cory,
Why do you post so much about Disney? Is the darklord about to defrost or something?
Elevator;s work because of SATAN 'S BARGAIN.
(Also, LordHumongous: ainât been about awhile, 'ave you?)
And: Comment System? The reason itâs âtoo similar to what [I] recently postedâ is because Iâm fixing a typo. Jesus.
Iâve been attending to a siege operation in the wasteland.
Shouldnât the headline be: The real reason the Florida Haunted Mansion Elevators donât go up or down?
Speaking of whichâspent my whole life going to Disney World but sadly not been to Disneyland (yet). The effect of the elevator here has always seemed weak, even when I was a kidâitâs pretty obvious the roof is rising/telescoping above youâno sense of motion.
Does the fact that it actually moves downward in Disneyland make it a much more believable effect there?
You know itâs a trick in Disneyland, but youâre wondering how they do it, even as a late teen.
I read through the entire article, and it wasnât until I came back and read the comments here that I had an idea of what these âstretch roomsâ are.
So itâs a room you walk into, and the ceiling appears to move away from you yes? And in Disney Land thatâs done by the room being an elevator that moves down, and in Disney World itâs the roofs being raised?
